27-year-old is back to work at pharmacy after unexpected battle with cancerBy Jim RyanSplaSh Contributor

When Kenny Zachow entered his last year of pharmacy school at the University of Montana in 2010, the last thing he had on his mind was a diagnosis of cancer.

It was on a short three-hour drive back home to Spokane Valley that Zachow be-gan to notice something wasn’t right. He started to experience blurry vision in his left eye.

“I was in the middle of one of my clini-cal rotations, and I was coming back for Thanksgiving,” he explained. “Luckily, I happened to be in Spokane at the time. I went into the hospital, and that’s when ev-erything started.”

Zachow was a young man, just 25, who kept himself in great shape by running, lifting weights and playing almost every sport. When he was at East Valley High School, he was an all-league basketball standout.

“I was one of those guys you would nev-er think something like this would hap-pen to,” he said. “When I got home during Thanksgiving, I went to urgent care here in the Valley, and they couldn’t find anything

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we’ve got you covered.

One out of every eight women will develop breast cancer. But statistics show more women survive this diagnosis when it is detected and treated early. According to the American Cancer Society, mammograms remain one of the most effective methods for early detection. If you are 40 or older, or are considered to be at risk, Valley Hospital encourages you to have a mammogram once a year – starting now.

To schedule your mammogram, call 509-473-5483. For more information, visit SpokaneValleyHospital.com.

Appointments are on a first-come, first-serve basis. A physician order is not required but the patient must provide a physician’s name when an appointment is made. If the patient does not have a physician, a list will be provided for the patient’s selection.

into lymphocytes. However, the blasts are abnormal, do not develop and cannot fight off infections. Thus, the number of abnormal cells (or leukemia cells) grows quickly, crowding out the normal red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets the body needs.

Zachow was immediately admitted to the hospital and spent the next month there taking chemotherapy and getting his blood count stabilized. He was for-tunate to go into remission after the first seven days but had to spend the next three weeks hospitalized because of his blood counts and the fatigue caused by the chemotherapy.

“With the testing they did, they found I had the bad genetics for ALL and that required a bone marrow transplant,” Zachow said.

He traveled to Seattle in the summer of 2011, where he received the transplant, spending almost four months at the Uni-versity of Washington Medical Center.

Now, after two years he is showing no signs of a recurrence, but explained the accepted benchmark for being truly can-cer free is five years.

“If I make it to five years without the leukemia coming back, I will most likely die of getting hit by a car or a heart at-tack — something not anywhere close to cancer,” he smiled.

He said that most people who go through a bone marrow transplant don’t go back to work for almost a year, but he had no side effects or graph versus host disease, and he started working as a full-time pharmacist at Savon Pharmacy in the Liberty Lake Albertsons store in April 2012, about six months following his transplant.

Looking back at his ordeal over the past two years, he considers it an “eye-opener.”

“It was one of those things where I was so healthy and it was never going to hap-pen to me,” he said. “Then all it took was the oncologist coming into my room, looking at me and saying: ‘You have leu-kemia.’ What do you do? It changes every aspect of your life.”

Now that he is out of treatment and cancer free for the past two years, he said he looks at life quite differently, including spending more time with his wife, Katie, and his son, Keygé Parks, and cherishing the support he has received from them, the rest of his family and his friends.

“Support is so huge,” he said. “I can’t imagine going through what I did with-out my family and friends. Some people aren’t so lucky to have such a support sys-tem. The journey itself is so hard; I don’t know how somebody could do it alone.”

He explained he never took his family

and friends for granted, but he now ap-preciates every second with them, espe-cially going to the park with his son, who was born the month before he was diag-nosed.

“My son was my rock through it all,” Zachow said. “I didn’t get to see him much through the whole thing because I wasn’t supposed to see a whole lot of peo-ple, but having him there was awesome.”

Katie, his wife of five years, said that Kenny’s diagnosis made her appreciate life even more and realize how valuable it is.

Her advice to someone who has a hus-band or wife diagnosed with cancer is to stay strong and to be optimistic.

“It’s scary when you first hear it, but people beat cancer all the time,” she said.

Katie also said that while it is impor-tant for a husband or wife to support their spouse, it is just as important for the caregiver to take care of themselves. She said caregivers are of no help to anyone if they let the stress of the ordeal affect their health.

“Ask for help so you don’t get over-whelmed,” she said. “Do something with your friends, go shopping or get a mas-sage. Have an outlet for yourself.”

Looking back on his entire cancer ex-perience, Zachow feels blessed that he is now able to help and counsel people who are newly diagnosed or traveling the can-cer journey.

“Half of it is attitude and mental,” he explained. “There is so much your body can do and so much of which you don’t have control. From the point you are di-agnosed, you feel you’ve lost control of everything. Up until that point I could work out, I could push my body, I could basically do whatever I wanted to do. Then, when you’re told you have cancer, you lose control and you’re kind of going with the wind. You have to stay positive; the mental aspect is huge and so is the support system.”

For Zachow, one aspect of that support system is the community of Liberty Lake. He points to the fundraiser at a local res-taurant that helped him pay for the cost of his bone marrow transplant. He also praises the support of his co-workers at Savon Pharmacy, who he considers a sec-ond family.

Zachow encourages those going through the cancer battle to contact him, even while he is at work, if they are seek-ing guidance or some insight into how they can get through their disease.

“It’s hard enough to find somebody who wants to talk about their cancer ex-perience, but as a pharmacist I do know a lot about the drugs and the whole cancer thing already,” he said. “I consider my-self a good resource, both medically and personally, for people going through this disease.”

Despite challenges, officials say new commissioner will have time to get up to speed By Josh JohnsonSplaSh StaFF writer

The mission of a new Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District commissioner, should you choose to accept it, includes the following:

• Improve the process that transforms sewage entering the LLSWD plant into Class A water pure enough to meet new and stringent permit standards — even though technology doesn't currently exist that can pull this off.

• Consider alternatives for some or all of this reclaimed water that would keep it from being discharged into the river, such as irrigation — even though the in-frastructure for executing this plan is not in place.

• And find a way to pay for it — even though significant rate increases for you and your neighbors may only represent part of the solution.

LLSWD leaders are looking for some-one who can hear a "mission impossible" message like this — and not self-destruct in five seconds.

"There are a lot of responsibilities, but that's OK, that's part of what you're taking on," LLSWD Commissioner Steve Skip-worth said. "It's just serving the people of our community. I've done it now for six years, and it can be weighing for sure, but at the same time you can be pretty proud of our community."

Skipworth and Commissioner Tom Agnew will be selecting a replacement for Frank L. Boyle, who was in his 20th year of service as an elected commissioner — the longest tenure in that role in LLSWD history — when he died Sept. 28. Applica-tions are due by 4 p.m. Nov. 9, the same time Agnew and Skipworth have called a special meeting to review candidates. From that review, finalists will be invited to be interviewed at the board's monthly meeting, which has been moved to 4 p.m. Nov. 14.

LLSWD leaders have emphasized a pro-active approach to stay in front of the per-mit deadlines and requirements in order to keep all options on the table, including options that may not exist yet. Because of this, Agnew and Skipworth emphasized that whoever is selected as the new com-missioner will have plenty of time and support in getting up to speed on the is-sues and doesn't necessarily have to come to the job with fully formed background knowledge.

PERMIT DEADLINESThe Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District's waste discharge permit issued last year requires it to remove phosphorus and other toxins from the reclaimed water it puts into the Spokane River at levels the current plant can't accomplish. The permit process impacted all entities that discharge treated effluent into the Spokane River, and the en-vironmental requirements in the permits that were issued went well beyond the capabili-ties of the systems currently in place.

The district, therefore, is planning a "phase

two" upgrade to its reclaimed water plant (the first was completed in 2006) that would enable it to improve its capability to remove phosphorus from the discharge. Along the way, the district must meet the permit's required deadlines, including:

• Submit construction plans for phase two plant upgrade: OCT. 1, 2014

• Complete construction of phase two plant upgrade: MARCH 1, 2018

• Dial in the upgrade so that the discharge meets the stringent requirements of the permit: MARCH 1, 2021

MEETING REQUIREMENTS OF PERMIT COMES WITH SET OF CHALLENGES• UPGRADING THE PLANT: The Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District board heard an engineering presentation at its Oct. 17 with a variety of alternatives and cost estimates associated with meet-ing the requirements of the district's permit. Allison Esvelt of Spokane's Esvelt Environmental Engineering showed a comparison of options and suggested a submerged membrane filtration system may be the district's best bet. The esti-mated capital cost of such an upgrade, in 2016 dollars, was $12.5 million.

• AN EYE TO THE ALTERNATIVES: While the plant upgrade will make significant gains in removing phosphorus from the reclaimed water the district is discharging, it will still fall short when the permit's strict requirements go into effect in 2021, the Esvelt report showed. Ammonia-nitrogen limits would also be exceeded by about 2030, according to Esvelt's estimates.

LLSWD General Manager Lee Mell-ish said that while the requirements were "the most stringent permits in the country," many other communities are also dealing with similar issues. He said it gives him hope that not only might tech-nology "catch up with all these require-ments," but the demand might help keep the costs from soaring out of control.

The alternative, of course, to meeting standards for discharging into a river is to no longer discharge into the river. The Esvelt report estimated the cost of two "purple pipe" options the district is con-sidering. Using the reclaimed water for ir-rigation at Liberty Lake golf courses would have an estimated 2020 project cost of $13.7 million, chiefly because of the roads that would have to be torn up and repaired to deliver the pipe. Less expensive is a $7.7 million estimate to pipe the water to the Saltese area to be used in a wetlands creation project the county is involved in.

Purple pipe for both options is already being laid, mostly as a "piggyback" addi-tion to projects that arise.

• HOW TO PAY FOR IT: Mellish said an updated rate study may be ready as soon as the district's next board meeting. He cautioned that estimates in the Esvelt report showing sewer rates increase by nearly 70 percent in the next 10 years were very preliminary. Commissioners at the meeting labeled the increases lower than anticipated and lower than what is likely to happen to neighboring systems.

At Saturday’s Regional Cross Country meet in Richland, the Central Valley High School boys team demonstrated why they are in the running for a state cham-pionship this coming weekend. Spectators were treated to a blue wave as the Bears maintained their pack attack, charging through the first mile and up the hill all to-gether.

As the team moved into the sec-ond mile, senior Logan Giese and junior Corey Hunter began to pull away, keeping their focus on the leaders. Midway through the third mile, sophomore Spencer Jensen closed the gap on his teammates, moving into second for Central Valley.

Giese turned on high gear as he came into the finishing stretch, passing Travis Thorne of Ferris to place fourth overall with a time of 15.32.3, which is 17 seconds fast-er than his previous time on the Richland course. Jensen followed in ninth place, second for the Bears with 15.52.2. And then the rest of the blue wave rushed over the finish line; Hunter in 11th at 15.59.6, Matt Hommel in 13th at 16.05, Colton Pegram in 15th with a 16.06.4, Briton Demars in 17th with 16.10.1, and Austin Seely in 20th with 16.15.5.

With only a 43-second gap be-tween Giese and Seely, the Bears are a formidable big meet team. The Bears were the only team to put all seven runners in the top 20, and the team won the regional championships with a score of 52 points.

The blue wave will return to the Tri-Cities on Saturday to face off against the top teams from around the state.

Girls finish fourthWith wet grass and rainclouds

threatening, the CV girls cross country team took the starting line at the regional meet in Rich-land, hoping to earn a top-two team finish and a trip to the state meet.

Brielle Crump, a freshman from Liberty Lake who has led the team this season, got out to a fast start, hoping to hang with the lead pack. Senior teammates Alexandria Moore and Skye Sanders came close behind early in the race, with Sophomores Sarah White and Sydney Orr joining them.

Kayla Boyer, also a freshman, ran her signature race, coming from behind in the last mile to secure 13th place overall and first for CV with a time of 19.33.7. Boyer’s time was 37 seconds faster than her last performance on the Richland course. Crump, who struggled late in the race, finished in 14th with 19.34.3. Moore ran a 19.45.6 to take 16th, and White came 20th with Sanders just be-hind in 21st. Sydney Orr and Ra-chel Casey earned 34th and 37th, respectively, to round out the Bears varsity efforts.

For the Lady Bears, owning the GSL championship was not enough to secure the top-two team finish needed for a state berth. The team finished a heartbreaking fourth, behind two teams it had beaten multiple times earlier in the season.

Elder Rehkow reflects on son’s kickBy Mike VlahovichSplaSh Contributor

It proved fortuitous that Aus-tin Rehkow’s record 67-yard field goal a couple weeks ago came on a Thursday. Had it been a day later like most foot-ball games, his parents, Freddie and Kim, would have missed it.

Friday, they began a cruise to the eastern Caribbean.

“I save up my personal days knowing I’ll be gone so much during the basketball season,” said Freddie Rehkow, the Cen-tral Valley High School teacher and girls basketball coach. “Ev-ery two years we get away and relax before basketball starts up.”

The trip wasn’t entirely relax-ing. They got caught in what be-came Hurricane

Sandy, and it took an extra day to make port.

“It got a little crazy,” Freddie said of 15-foot swells. “It was one of (the cruise line’s) bigger ships, but it was up and down and all around. The last 2½ days, people were getting seasick.”

He said he wasn’t too worried, but that Kim got a little nervous.

The hardest part of the cruise for Freddie was trying to access email during the hullabaloo over Austin’s kick seen ’round the country.

“People were emailing and setting up interviews,” Freddie said.

Austin, he said, never has been one to seek the limelight, but has since had 740 friend re-quests on Facebook.

“He was very adamant that it was about the team,” the elder Rehkow said. “For him it was just another kick. He said, ‘hon-estly Dad, I wanted to give it a try.’”

Afterwards, Austin wrote on

Facebook and made sure the special team’s unit got its due, naming them all.

It’s been “cool” Freddie said, but added that each of the boys and girls teams finishing second at state — other than losing the title game — was more special for the family.

November means CV time

If it’s November it must be high school fall sports postsea-son, and Central Valley teams once more will be well repre-sented:

Cross Country — Saturday the District 5-8 champion boys are racing for a trophy at the State 4A meet. CV edged Lewis and Clark 52-59, both quali-fying for state. Logan Giese (fourth) and Spencer Jensen (ninth) were top-10 placers.

Girls soccer — On Tuesday, the district champion Bears played against a team from the Mid-Columbia Conference for a 4A state berth

Volleyball — Second in dis-trict, CV’s volleyball team on Saturday plays against the MCC in the regional tournament that determines state qualifiers.

Football — No playoff this year for the Bears, but this might have been almost as satisfying as last year’s trip to the state quar-terfinals. There was last week’s win over previously unbeaten Gonzaga Prep, and Rehkow’s earlier field goal. CV would love to have had its season-opener against Ferris back.

About the Opinion Page

Think for a moment about a club you know of or want to be a part of — and what being a member of that club is like. For some, that may be a sports team, a school or a tightknit group of friends. Becoming a part of that club takes a cer-tain measure of effort, and being part of it provides rewards.

When we consider the political bands which connect us with one another as a sort of club, we refer to the quality of be-ing in that club as citizenship.

Citizenship begins at a local level, like being a part of the neighborhood you live in. It extends to a town or city, and on a grand scale, you are a citizen of the state and country which you call home. Be-ing a member or citizen of these “clubs” grants you an amazing set of privileges and rights, but demands your participa-tion.

Being a part of the neighborhood you live in may not have a formal definition, but the best of neighborhoods have char-acter and qualities people are proud of. Though “Browne’s Addition” or “South Hill” may not be as well-known as “Hyde Park” or “Capitol Hill,” people use these names with pride and actively want to be recognized as having a home or business there. Being a part of a great neighbor-hood means taking care of it by doing things like picking up trash, being friend-ly to your neighbor and participating in activities and events which make it the place you want to live or work.

Your home and school is located in a city and county, and because of that you get an amazing set of services provided by those municipal organizations. Cities and counties provide law enforcement and fire departments, utilities like elec-trical power and water, and even parks and libraries. Membership or citizenship in these organizations requires obeying local laws and paying appropriate taxes on things like owning property and sales transactions.

Citizenship in the state and country in which we live provides amazing benefits and privileges, some of which we take for granted. The 14th Amendment of our nation’s constitution defines: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of

By Dan DunneSplaSh GueSt Column

Citizenship comes with responsibilities, privileges

the State wherein they reside.” Member-ship — citizenship — in the United States is a privilege which millions of people around the world wish they could obtain. Simply stated, being a citizen of our na-tion provides you the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our consti-tution declares that you are free to speak and write what you wish; you may choose to follow a religion of your choice; you may read and publish the ideas of your choice. We as a people, acting through our government, will protect you from harm: from evildoers within or beyond our borders. You will be given justice by rule of law and judged by a jury of your peers. You will be rescued if you are in-jured, fed if you are hungry and given an education.

There are a small set of responsibilities and duties which come with these rights and privileges. You are responsible to vote according to your will. Your vote implies your responsibility to be well informed of the issues which you are asked to vote on. You are responsible when called upon to support our justice system: to serve as a jury member or to serve as a witness. It is your duty to obey laws — the rules of our country, our state and of our cities and towns. It is also your duty to pay taxes, and when and if called upon, to join our military in defense of our nation. To some extent, citizenship also calls for pa-triotism: to speak and act with pride for our nation.

Citizenship at local levels, regional lev-els and national levels provides amazing rights and benefits in exchange for par-ticipation in a small but important set of actions. Be sure to lead and encourage those around you to live up to their citi-zenship and participate!

In Washington State — we vote by mail — be sure to mail or deposit your ballot in a ballot box by Nov. 6!

Dan Dunne is a city of Liberty Lake council member and board member for Spokane Area Youth Choirs. He has earned degrees from the University of Washington and Gonzaga University and has enjoyed a 20-year career in engineering and prod-uct development. Dunne is the father of two boys and a loving husband. He volun-teers his time at Liberty Lake Elementary School, Greenacres Middle School and Spokane Public Radio. This column was written as part of a monthly series high-lighting the PACE (Partners Advancing Character Education) trait of the month, which is “citizenship.”

"The job itself in the best of circum-stances takes you a while to get your arms around," Agnew said. "I wouldn't expect anyone to expect of themselves to come up to speed immediately with (the district's) challenges."

Not that a love of the community, a ba-sic knowledge of LLSWD challenges and a few spare hours available wouldn't help the candidate.

"It will be wonderful if they are indepen-dently wealthy and didn't have to work so they could spend all of their time," Agnew said with a laugh. "It's like so many public jobs; it will consume the time available, it seems. But the main thing is someone who really wants to do it, and if someone really wants to do it that usually suggests their heart and their head is in the right place."

The job of LLSWD commissioner pays

a stipend of $104 per meeting, of which there is one scheduled per month. Addi-tional special meetings are sometimes part of the commissioner's job and also pay the same stipend.

Skipworth said background in how utilities operate was a helpful plus for him when he joined the board six years ago af-ter 32 years in the utility business. He also emphasized that a business background would help the candidate, because several decisions regarding budgeting, rates and financing will need to be made, something LLSWD General Manager Lee Mellish also emphasized.

"The next phase of (upgrading the LLS-WD treatment facility) could be $12 mil-lion," Mellish said. "Where will that money come from? Partly from rates and connec-tion fees or revenue bonds or what? These are all the decisions that are going to have to be made down the road, and the board and its new commissioner are going to have to make those decisions."

By Tom McArthurFor the liberty laKe hiStoriCal SoCiety

Before there was a Spokane, before there was a Spokane Falls, there was a Spokane Bridge — the first pioneer settlement in the Intermountain West. Most present-day residents of the area probably could not tell you what caused it to be, where it was, what caused most of it to disappear and where parts of it still are.

Let’s take these one at a time.

What caused it to be?Imagine yourself a feather, floating down

the Spokane River from its headwaters at Lake Coeur d’Alene. After you pass through the dramatic gorge at Post Falls, you return to a leisurely pace as the river widens, the banks flatten and you begin to meander through Liberty Lake and onto the Spokane Valley.

This is where pioneers began to settle about the time of the American Civil War (1861-1865) — more than a decade before settlement would begin downstream at the next great falls, Spokane.

The first pioneer to settle in the area was Antoine Plante. He first appeared in the written records of the area in 1852. Plante was typical of the early whites who came through here, attracted by the area’s rich natural resources. Plante settled his family in a crook of the Spokane River, on the north bank (where Plante’s Ferry Park marks the site today), in 1854. Plante’s brother-in-law, Camille Langtu, settled directly across from them, on the south bank.

As the stream of trappers and miners through the area grew, all needing to cross the river on their way toward visions of sil-ver in the mines of north Idaho, Plante and his brother-in-law saw a business opportu-nity right outside their doors. They opened a ferry business with fees of $4 for each wagon, carriage or vehicle with two animals attached (about $100 today) or $1.50 for a man and horse (about $35 today).

It didn’t take long for others to see a busi-ness opportunity in helping travelers cross the Spokane River.

Was there really a bridge?Yes, there really was a bridge at Spokane

Bridge.The first bridge across the Spokane

River was built in 1864 and operated as a toll bridge by three business partners (Joe Herring, Tim Lee and Ned Jordan). It was strategically placed nearer the famous Mul-lan Road than Plante’s Ferry, approximately where the new state line bridge was recently completed. The fee to cross was only $1 — no matter what you were bringing across. The bridge funneled people and equipment through the Spokane River valley up to gold and silver mines in the mountains of Idaho, Montana and British Columbia.

The steel bridge at Spokane Bridge is pictured in this 1913 photo. This bridge, which re-placed four previous wooden bridges at the site, was built in 1911.

Below: The Spokane River (foreground) remains a constant in this view of Spokane Bridge. The Cranston Box Manufacturing Co., built in 1913, is shown south of the river. The company milled, on average, a dozen railroad cars full of box shooks (the thin, wide boards used to build fruit boxes) per week. Everything in this photo, between the river and the present-day site of the rockin’ b ranch in the far background, has given way to interstate 90.

Spokane Bridge: An Inland Northwest original

A town soon sur-rounded the new struc-ture, first called Pioneer Bridge until most people just began calling it Spo-kane Bridge. It became the first settlement in a vast Inland Empire and boasted several firsts for the area: the first store, the first house, the first hotel and the first post office.

Bridge partner Tim Lee became the first postmaster of Spokane Bridge in 1866, stamping letters in his store south of the bridge. In 1870, the first census of the area counted 29 people here. Spokane Bridge became a stop on the Pony Express in 1871, connecting The Dalles, Oregon Territory, to Missoula, Montana Territory.

In 1872, Michael Cowley (who emigrat-

ed alone from Ireland at the age of 15), estab-lished a general store on the north side of the river. Years later, in his memoirs, Cowley de-scribed the early time of Spokane Bridge as “stir-ring days.”

In 1880, the second census of the area count-ed 45 people here.

Truth be told, there have been five bridges at Spokane Bridge. The first four, built of wood,

were successively washed away by seasonal high water. The fifth was built of steel in 1911.

In 1908, Joseph Humphreys established a farm on the south side of the river. He first built a little cabin and then added a house in 1910.

Spokane Bridge remained a viable town from its inception through the 1940s. In fact, when U.S. Highway 10 was commis-sioned in 1926 (from Seattle to Detroit), it used the bridge at Spokane Bridge to cross the river.

What is left to see?Three pieces of Spokane Bridge remain

today.The easiest to see are the north and south

concrete abutments from the 1911 bridge. Park your car at Gateway Park (state line exit 299) and take a short walk to the river. Here, you are standing in the middle of the old U.S. 10 where it crossed the Spokane River.

Look across the river and you’ll spot the old Cowley place in the trees. It still holds a commanding view of Spokane Bridge and the old U.S. 10 from its perch on the north side of the river. The Cowley House is among the oldest surviving structures from the area’s pioneer days. The property is fenced and used for storage.

Head back under the freeway, and you’ll see the old Humphreys place, shaded by a grove of trees on your left — now the Rock-in’ B Ranch Event Center. The original 1908 homesteader’s cabin and 1910 farmhouse are visible from Spokane Bridge Road. The Rockin’ B Depot, part of the ranch’s western melodrama set, is the only structure in the area that still bears a sign for where it was and where it is: Spokane Bridge.

Tom McArthur is the ranch foreman and historian for the Rockin’ B Ranch at Spokane Bridge. He can be reached at [email protected]. McArthur previously was the communications director and historian for the Davenport Hotel. He has produced sev-eral historical documentaries for KSPS-TV, including “Remember When: Nat Park,” and “Remembering Spokane.”

At the Liberty Lake PORTALJames Lake Excels at Keeping Ideas Safe

Back in the year 1882, when our country was only about 100 years old, Parsons Behle & Latimer offered legal services to the miners set-tling the frontier. Today, with 130 years in the legal business, Parsons Behle & Latimer is one of the oldest and best-known business law and litigation firms in Utah, Nevada, Idaho and the Intermountain region of the central and western United States.

“Our first clients were in the business of mining so related areas of natural resource law and energy continue to be a core part of our

practice,” explained At-torney James Lake, the lone rider in the Liberty Lake office of a firm that boasts over 135 attorneys throughout the western United States.

Not only does the firm offer unique expertise to the environmental natural resources indus-try, but Parsons Behle & Latimer has forged relationships with a wide range of industries. For multi-billion dollar com-panies, start-up compa-nies and individuals, the firm offers depth and a range of experience in

the areas of Litigation, Banking & Finance, Corporate & Tax, Environ-mental & Natural Resources, Energy & Utilities, Employment & Labor, Government Relations & Lobbying, Health Care, Intellectual Property, Mining, and Real Estate.

Attorney James Lake, who operates the Liberty Lake office, special-izes in Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights. When asked about the rewards of working in this field, Lake remarked, “In essence, I help people (inventors and their businesses) who want to start something new. Everything I do is related to an idea for making something better.”

James opened the Liberty Lake branch of Parsons Behle & Latimer in 2011. He appreci-ates the competitive rent along with the conve-nient and well maintained common areas in the Liberty Lake Portal and finds that the concentration of technology and business professionals makes for a very nice business climate in which to work.

Because James lives with his wife and six children at the edge of Liberty Lake’s Pavillion Park, he also appreciates having his office close to home and amidst beautiful surroundings.

Not All Insurance Is Created Equal On July 1, 2012, Lisa Schaff transitioned her MetLife Auto and Home

insurance business from North Seattle to what she considers paradise. “Since I’ve been here, Liberty Lake and the surrounding area have been paradise to me,” Lisa explained pointing out that the recent weath-er, the wildlife, and the location make Liberty Lake an ideal place to live and work.

With her office in the Liberty Lake Portal, Lisa finds “the location is convenient for both Spokane and Coeur d’Alene customers, right near the state line.”

Her work includes helping area residents realize there are many savings opportunities and unique coverage benefits that can provide relief to a budget and increased protection to property. For exam-ple, some auto insurance coverage options offered through MetLife include discounts for AAA members.

Yet, with twelve years of experi-ence in the insurance industry, Lisa understands how difficult it can be for people to sort through all the details and variables that surround insurance coverage. When talking with friends and customers, Lisa

often finds, “It is challenging to overcome people’s resistance to learn about insurance. Folks are busy and assume they’ll never be involved in a major loss, so it’s often put off.”

However, accidents do happen, whether in your RV, trailer, snowmobile, jet-ski, condo, boat, apartment, auto or home. “It’s important to understand the coverage options so you can make informed decisions,” Lisa explains. “I love to help people do that. I really feel a sense of purpose when I am able to assist people with saving money and getting better coverage.”

If you have insurance questions or concerns, Lisa is a great local resource, with a passion for helping people get the right

coverage so they can continue to enjoy life in this place she finds so close to paradise.

Attorney James Lake represents Parsons Behle & Latimer from his office in the Liberty Lake Portal.

Lisa Schaff brought MetLife Auto and Home Insurance from Seattle to the Liberty Lake Portal in July of 2012.
